the verizon line includes both the speeds the FIOS people get and the people paying for the slowest tier of DSL. hence "averaged out"
the Comcast line is the same way, people in one area may have a max of 50Mbps, while across the country the max speed may be 25Mbps. This chart does not tell you if in New York City Charter is the best ISP for streaming netflix.
I would just like to point out that just about every other smartphone sold these days has a user accessible battery. With daily charge cycles(probably the norm on the iPhone as well) how long will the battery continue to hold a charge? With my phone I simply buy a new battery from a host of suppliers and go on with my day. Also I can buy a second battery, keep it charged, and be back up and running in the time it takes to reboot the phone. Not 3-5 hours while the phone charges, longer if all i have is normal computer based USB to charge from.
BTW, the MT4G(t-mobile MyTouch 4g) is only 1.6mm thicker than an iphone4, it is, however, slightly wider.
So if i have too look up the part number for a sporlan ball valve for a 1-1/8" ODF line, i'm cheating? what if i have to look up the yield strength of steel? or the first critical temperature(3 years ago for a class)? the energy density of gasoline? or how to calculate a bending moment(i last used that in a class near 5 years ago now)?
All of that would be cheating at being a mechanical engineer by your definition. we'll just ignore the fact that i know which book on my shelf to go look in, and where in that book to look, and how to use the information in there, and when something is "significant" or not.
I fail to see how a test bank would have been helpful for any of the classes in my field that i took in college. The numbers were slightly different, the unit may have been different. Sometimes the question
by who's definition of "dedicated to infringing activities"?
Is youtube? how about 4chan? techdirt? slashdot? digg? bbc.co.uk? foxnews.com? the sundance film festivals page?
This is the issue, it's not that we disagree that "illegal"(criminally) sites should be shut down, but in almost all cases there are already ways to do this, injunctions, court orders, etc.
This means that they will have to do the same thing the radios do, only announce songs after a block of 10. I agree though, I have heard songs on the radio and wanted to know what it was so i could go out and buy it, but nope they don't bother telling me.
Those "beacon"s you mention are packets. And filtering them out of the the whole mess of wireless packets you can receive in a dense network is resource intensive.
Simply put, while they don't connect to them, they do see the packets, and if we used directional antennas there would be less risk, but you would have to go and point your AP at your computer then.
What to keep the evil google from getting your dataz on your "Wirefi" use encryption, and good encryption. Last I knew even WPA2 was crackable given enough time at the AP, so better use a VPN.

"""BTW, just because something is broadcast by radio does not (legally) mean that you have a freedom right to listen, or decode that signal."""
I think i would should it be hear-able in the clear from a public space, aka the road. How is this different that standing on your roof with a bull horn?
Google knew they were grabbing packets, the only way to get the info that an AP exists. They then noticed they had some data they did not mean to grab; doing the filtering in realtime is resource intensive. Google then came out and said "opps we got some of this data what does the law say we should do with it?".
There is a difference between "gather and store" and "gather temporally store, process, and store useful information". Google is good at the latter, and anyone with enough harddrive space can do the first.
Only once they are there, is there a way for "someone" to find out if there is wifi without being out there already. Being able to check something that you think the rep is lying about could be very useful when in the field. "do i grab all the spec data before I leave, or do I wait and see if i need it.
Also If you know the place an AP is at, you can use it as rudimentary GPS style system. AP names could be used as form of advertising.
The real issue here, is like Mike says, that anyone one that has a computer in a car could actually try to get this data and do a much worse things with it.
There really needs to be a mandate that consumer grade wifi points(routers, bridges, etc) ship with the wifi off, and require a scary message if you go to disable the encryption. Also website should, of their own accord, start requiring SSL for login data.
Here is your viable solution, the lowest safe combination on dry pavement with good visibility is the speed limit. exceeding it will mean you may be detained while your licensee is check to see if you have the right one for going faster. So you could drive above posted if you have the right license but it will probably be slower than if you hadn't.
Other than that I agree that people need more schooling before driving.
yes, but that statement doesn't cover who can prevent laws from changing. Not that i agree with the ACTA, but that no one had the forethought to prevent unregulated agreements that could prevent current laws from changing is discouraging to me.
Only thing I can think of is that this would be offered ~3 months sooner than the dvd comes out. If it was $15 or $10, it would be almost an impulse thing, like going the movies was before kids. "ohh hey XYZ is showing, wanna go see it?"
And we could just wait for it to come out on blu-ray and get all the goodies, and whatnot, and still pay only $30... If i buy the dvd it's even better as they are easier to rip.
Most of the really early Torrents, are from ripping it from the theater gear, not from home. how many HDMI/DVI recorders do you know of?
Also, i think you meant HDCP, DHCP doesn't need a crack, as it's an open way for your computer to be assigned an IP address.

BTW, the MT4G(t-mobile MyTouch 4g) is only 1.6mm thicker than an iphone4, it is, however, slightly wider.
iPhone 4: 5.4"x2.31"x0.37" 4.8oz 4.6153 cu-in
MT4G: 4.8"x2.44"x0.43" 5.4oz 5.0361 cu-in
Overall there is 0.4 cu-in more space in my phone and under the cover is access to the uSD card, and SIM.
So in short apart from making the phone very very slightly smaller there is not reason for the non-removable battery, or the lack of uSD storage.
